Der Barbier von Bagdad

About the show

Nureddin loves Margiana, daughter of the Cadi. With Bostana’s help, he is made presentable by Abdul Hassan, the barber, and enters the women’s quarters to court Margiana. A farcical series of disguises and hiding follows, including Nureddin being carried away in a treasure chest. The Caliph arrives, releases him, and betroths him to Margiana.
